Lihue-Koloa Forest Reserve Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

If you are looking for a fairly easy and beautiful hike I would definitely suggest the Kuilau Trail. 4 miles round trip and about 600 ft in elevation. #lifeatexpedia #kauai #hawaii

A waterfall from the wettest spot in Hawaii. They promote this as the wettest spot on earth, but a little research raises some doubts about that claim. Either way I can tell you there were rain clouds covering the peak every time I saw it!

Room wasn’t ready they said it would be ready in 45 minutes it wasn’t switched to another room on the ground floor with no elevators. Hard to find staff to get more towels or anything else. A lot of money to stay at a place that doesn’t have enough staff to run the place.

Air conditioner in my room made a lot of squeaking noises. Also we were right across fron the (very noisy!) ice maker. Pretty noisy hotel which is currently under a lot of construction.
